Finishing Touch



Whoooaaaa how am i gonna explain this feeling... I feel overwhelming by this situation. Another day of being sleepless but it's worthed. Started my day by MCing this meeting for PT Indosari at Grand Hyatt Hotel then off to Grand Indonesia for a press conference (still with Keith Martin). After prescon, we went to KISS FM 95.1 channel, doing some interview. Then we grab BK at sarinah for late lunch and early dinner at a same time, hahahaaa.. We went straight to studio afterwards, doin some finishing touch with da essence of electric guitar to da 2nd single "U HAVE NO IDEA". Funny thing was about Unique, he was hitting on me, aaawww sooo cuteee, lhooo???!! hahahaaaaa... Great laugh. Gtg 2 bed now. Tomorrow will do some rehearsals for da perfomance later at night. Thank u Allah for every blessing days :)

recording session day 2


Today was pretty exhausting. I was only sleeping for like 3hrs. sigh... Got up early and my first destination was to Metro Tv, did some casting and met up with Prabu and Tomtjok. Memory flashed a bit but yea i control errthangs with a big heart and open mind :) After that we went to the casablanca apt to pick Keith and Unique up. We stopped by to Senci for a quick BK takeaway then went straight to da brotherland studio. We were working on my 2nd single, titled as "U HAVE NO IDEA" and daaayyymmnnn yess indeed, i have no freaking idea of wut am i doing there, hahahahaaaa.... Somehow, i managed to finish the record successfully alhamdulillah but i do think that i need a proper vocal-training. Keith was helping me a lot with da whole things. SEVENSOUL members were also there, they were meeting up with Keith and also trying to give me a positive support. Thx guys!!! After recording, we had radio interview with LITE 105,8 FM, surprisingly kang 'RICK JO' was the 1 who intvwd us, which means good, He's my favorite bro :) The intvw went really well, after that we had dinner at bebek bali Haji Nawi, near to my place. And now gotta hit da bed soon cuz tomorrow will be another long day for me.
I FEEL BLESS AND HAPPY. GOD IS GOOD :)

"I GIVE YOU ME"



Thats da title of my very first duet single featuring Keith Martin. He is quite well-known RnB singer who was originally born and raised at States. But somehow, he was moving for good to Manila, Philipines. I am so happy that i can work with him. After a very long winding road, working my asses of to be a real singer, finally the day has concluded. ALHAMDULILLAH.... :)

I missed lotsa tunes but with the helping of Keith's magical software, it helps easing my pitchy voice, hahahahaaaa... Sooo a little here and there.... aaannnddd VOILA!!! The track is done and hopefully the Indonesia's market will love it ;)


"I give u me, and everything I am... Just as I am, for all that u are... I give u me and with all my heart... I'll love u forever, I give u me..."

M U T L A K

Satu helaan terurai berulang..
Mencoba menerka isi hatinya..
Merangkai kisi-kisi mimpi yg sepihak..
Apakah tiap teori bersifat mutlak?

Ketika pakem mulai bergeser dari porosnya..
Apakah 1+1 tetap adalah 2 ?
Apakah bulan purnama bentuknya bulat penuh ?
Apakah kehilangan selalu diwarnai air mata ?
Apakah merah muda selalu hanya sebagai pelambang cinta?

Sebutlah aku sebagai pemberontak hukum semesta..
Berusaha mengejar fatamorgana..
Mencari jawaban atas segala pertanyaan..
Mengoyak lapisan ketidakpastian..

Ketika pakem mulai bersifat mengada-ada..
Apakah janji dibuat utk diingkari saja?
Apakah melahirkan hanya utk wanita?
Apakah usia bisa diundur terbalik?

Dapatkah segala tanya akhirnya terjawab..
Bahwa segala mutlak mampu digoyahkan..
Mungkin tidak semua pertanyaan diciptakan untuk tidak dijawab..
Mungkin jodoh hidup tidak selamanya mati..
Mungkin pasangan hitam tak harus selalu putih..
Mungkin tawa tidak perlu disertai air mata..
Mungkin YIN tak serasi bersanding dengan YANG..

Mungkin KAMU memang bukan jawaban untukku..

Seiring alunan musik kesukaanmu....
Aku pun berlalu tanpa pamit..
Mengakhiri sesuatu yang bahkan belum kita mulai..



Ketika Air Mata Beradu Dengan Darah

Mungkin hari ini merupakan catatan sejarah pahit untuk bumi pertiwi.
Jakarta diawali dg pagi yg cerah, azan subuh berkumandang merdu, lalu lalang padat jalan raya pun berlangsung sebagaimana biasanya.

Selepas subuh, saya memang sudah ada rutinitas tahunan kepada Allah Maha Mendengar. Tepat 17juli merupakan tanggal kelahiran pria paling penting dlm hidup saya, almarhum Kgs.Muh.Hylmi Memet,SH.
Hablum minaLLah pun dituntaskan, tepat sekitar pukul 5.15am.

Dilanjutkan dg menyaksikan ceramah Islam bersama ibunda saya, kami tertawa kecil karena terhibur dg isi dakwah dari ustadz yg mengisi acara.
Saya pikir hari ini tidak akan ada air mata.

Ternyata dugaan meleset, pukul 8.20am mulai muncul breaking news dimana².
Di tengah² suatu acara variety show pun muncul IN-LINE news (berita yg muncul dlm bentuk running text dan letaknya biasanya berada dibwh layar tv) mengenai ledakkan di JW Mariott (Lagi ??!!) dan Ritz Carlton di kawasan Mega Kuningan.
Long short story kalian semua pun pasti sangat mengikuti kisah kelam hari ini.
Tidak perlu saya sebut detil menyakitkan & kronologis pilu atas musibah ini.

Satu yg pasti, saya betul² sesak hari ini dibuatnya. The world is a bitch, I've heard that... But never thought it'll happen this sad, it kills me inside and out ☹
Ini bukan masalah Manchester United batal datang ataupun kurs rupiah yg anjlok.
Juga bukan masalah jalan jadi berganda macetnya ataupun pembatalan beberapa order job.
Apalagi masalah 'blowup story' semacam musibah muara angke yg faktanya ternyata tanpa ada campur tgn terorisme.
Ini bukan masalah menyalahkan si garuda biru atau garuda merah.
Ini masalah NYAWA manusia.....hidup & mati..

Tolong jgn menunggangi POLITIK disini..
Janganlah mempermainkan nyawa manusia hanya demi kepuasan jabatan semata.
Mereka terlahir tanpa cacat, tidak pantas rasanya melihat ajal menjemput paksa bahkan dengan organ tubuh yg tidak lengkap.
Na'udzubilla min dzaliik..

Kalau suatu bentuk pengabdian yg mengatasnamakan AGAMA dicoreng dengan kasus seperti ini, maka sebaiknya saya pindah agama.

Tapi sayangnya, agama saya dan agama selain agama saya pun tidak pernah mengajarkan bentuk ketololan semacam ini.
Entah apa agama sang pelaku, mungkin agamanya bernama BOM BUNUH DIRI, dan sang provokator adalah TUHAN mereka.

----------------------------
Surah ali imran ayat 21:
"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang kafir kepada ayat-ayat Allah dan membunuh para nabi yang memang tidak dibenarkan dan membunuh orang-orang yang menyuruh manusia berbuat adil, maka gembirakanlah mereka bahwa mereka akan menerima siksa yang pedih. "

"Those who have rejected GOD's revelations, and killed the prophets unjustly, and killed those who advocated justice among the people, promise them a painful retribution."


--------------------------
Hukum mereka dengan balasan yg setimpal, YA ALLAH...
Hanya itu pintaku.
Amien ya Robbal alamin.
